In /etc/postfix/master.cf, I have:
maildrop unix - n n - - pipe
flags=DRhu user=vmail argv=/usr/local/maildrop/bin/maildrop -d
${user}@${nexthop} ${extension} ${recipient} ${user} ${nexthop} ${sender}
maildrop requires only the -d parameter, for a standard, default
configuration. None of the other nonsense is required.
The additional parameters mean that the "instructions" you've read are
really some homebrewed hack job of integrating maildrop into the mail
server, so the best place to ask for help is wherever you found the
instructions that you've followed.
My filter rule for my email address is stored in:
-rw------- 1 vmail vmail 323 2009-06-29 18:28
/home/vmail/.mailfilters/b0...@esben-stien.name
In the manual, it says not to include periods in the name of this filter
file, but according to the tutorial, this is allowed.
Anyway, this file seems to have no effect. I've also tried putting these
rules directly in my /etc/maildroprc file, which strangely enough,
didn't work either.
That does not surprise me. Try following instructions in maildrop's
INSTALL, rather than the results of some random Google search.
